Administrative divisions of Cartadania: Difference between revisions

The states are divided into smaller administrative regions, called counties (comarcas) in all but three states. In Milan, Montecarlo, and Porta Bianca, the county equivalents are called parishes. These are, nonetheless, treated as counties by the federal government, and the general framework for these entities is generally the same as those found in other states. Counties have varying degrees of political and legal significance depending on the state in which they are found. In some states, mainly in Cambria, they are primarily used as judicial districts. The state government has opted to abolish the governments of the counties and primarily reports directly to its municipalities and vice versa. In other states, counties have broad powers in housing, education, transportation, and recreation, taking over some responsibilites that would be the state's jurisdiction in other states.

Counties may contain a number of cities, towns, or villages, or sometimes just a part of a city. Some cities are consolidated with, and coterminous with, their counties, like [[Lua, São Ricardo|Lua]] and [[New Venceia]]—that is to say, these counties consist in their entirety of a single municipality, the government of which also operates as the county government. Some counties, such as Malta County, Alexandria, do not have any additional subdivisions. Further still, some states, mainly Acara and Triessa, contain independent cities that are not part of any county, thus they are considered equivalent to the state's counties (which, in these two cases, contain incorporated towns).
